Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Report of two trials conducted this summer for flea beetle management. The first one, conducted in the greenhouse, compares efficacy of native WI nematodes to chemical insecticides for flea beetle control. In this trial, nematodes provided similar control for flea beetles as both insecticides (Belay and Diazinon). The second one, conducted in the field, looks at the efficacy of a post-bloom Belay soil-soak application for flea beetle larvae. Fewer adults emerged from beds treated with the Belay soil-soak than the untreated controls.
